"W-well, I suppose this Japan place is good enough, if it managed to create someone like you. I'll have to ask someone a bit more... educated about how the Dynasty is faring. Well, I hope you and your clerics get on well. I'll see you later, my good man!"

[i]The Dynasty must have fallen quite far to have given such BRUTES a role in the priesthood,[/i] he thought, [i]Oh well... so long as they understand the holy rituals of their patrons, I won't deride them for their savagery.[/i] Djedkare eased himself into the lukewarm waters of the pool's hot tub, and relaxed.
